Shah Rukh Khan in a spot of bother

What do Sunil Gavaskar, Saurav Ganguly, Shane Warne, Stephen Fleming and Glen McGrath have in common?

Answer: Common Sense. They all dislike John Buchanan’s ideas and their disliking makes complete sense to me.

Perhaps the only man who has failed to understand what John Buchanan, Kolkata Knight Rider’s coach is upto is their owner Shah Rukh Khan. He publicly reacted to Sunil Gavaskar’s comments on John Buchanan and his idea of having multiple captains. Shah Rukh Khan failed to note that there was nothing wrong in what Sunil Gavaskar wrote. Each word in that article made complete sense to anyone who has followed John Buchanan. By reacting, Shah Rukh Khan has jumped the gun and has landed in a soft spot.

Sooner Shah Rukh Khan realizes that this is a team breaking theory from John Buchanan; the better it is for his team, his hard earned money as well as his own acting career. He should simply go ahead and appoint Saurav Ganguly as Captain of KKR for the entire season without toying with the idea of having multiple captains as suggested by John Buchanan. I say this helps Shah Rukh Khan’s acting career because if he goes with the idea, ignores Saurav Ganguly and in the event KKR loses badly, Shah Rukh Khan can rest assured that his movie releases would be affected in entire West Bengal state.

For Shah Rukh Khan, KKR is a passionate investment as he loves Cricket. He should realize that his passion or hobby should not come in way of his core competencies which are his acting and producing movies. If his day job gets affected, he will allow his friends in the industry to laugh at his expense. You all know who I am talking about. Mr. Gavaskar will never hesitate in coming back hard at Shah Rukh if KKR loses because of John’s rubbish ideas. Does he want all these?

Shane Warne, legendary spin doctor late last year said Buchanan was a "goose" and his "verbal diarrhoea" epitomized a worrying big-headed culture. He was spot on as it was the arrogance which brought once mighty Australian team tumbling down to ground. There is a lesson here for Shah Rukh Khan to learn.

“I have played under Buchanan and I know he has a lot of theories, may be this is another one. I don’t know why he (Buchanan) has come up with this idea. I like a single captain idea” said the legendary Glen McGrath yesterday and he certainly knows what he is talking.

Mr. Khan, are you listening?
